About Grange Community Primary School

Grange Community Primary School in East Suffolk was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in November 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2017. The school now holds Good marks across all five inspected categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. On the most telling exam metric for a primary school, 52% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year.
